"Poll question: Parents, what is your stance on having your kids drop nigga bombs?"


  

          

That word was a no-go under any circumstances in my house growing up.

At this point I'm curious where parents are standing with that, I ask because it just occurred to me that we might be on the verge of slowly phasing out that word from our lexicon(not mad at that really)



Poll result (18 votes)
Yes: its a term of endearment, its a family heirloom (3 votes)Vote
No: we off that (15 votes)Vote

I dont have kids, but they'll be allowed to use it when they understand the concept of time and place. so somewhere around their teenage years

tying the use of black language to a lack of morality borders on self-hatred

if my children are freely running around referring to people as "niggas", I've failed as a parent.
Hell, anyone that works for me who uses the word(if I hear it) wont be taken seriously.

a weave wearer or one who gets a relaxer who pats their head as a means of relieving an itch instead of scratching.

I get that your family is comfortable with it (not like there's much choice) just seems like intelligence isn't any sort of qualifier.

the wife and I have used it out of disgust and it usually slips out, but in general that ain't said round chea.

Growing up in a borderline militant Pro-Black household it damned sure wasn't said except to explain what whitey really thinks of you and what he calls you behind your back.

I seem to recall my stepfather gettin irritated with George Jefferson saying it a time or two.

They don't want to call for peace then.

The teens say it occasionally. I think it would be inappropriate for me to tell them not to on account of my being white. It bugs the shit out of their mom though.
